Chop Till You Drop.

I can't help but feel that this is going to crash and burn just as hard as Dead Rising Wii. Porting down to the Wii just really isn't a good idea.

Oh Lies... too slow...

2nd topic in 5 minutes. This is really a big deal isn't?

Why isn't porting to the Wii a good idea?

Get OUT!

DUDES, IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN! CHOP 'TILL YOU DROP!

lol @ the pic they use.

While the awesome graphics of the PC and 360 game are not replicable on Wii. everything else is. Awesome sound design included.

They will have to tune the NPC AI to suit the Wii controls, if they do that well it could be a very good game for Wii. If the required effort goes into the game. Wii Remote controls with a touch of lag could work very well indeed. Sensitivity has to be locked no question about it.
The Wii can handle physics very well also, you only have to look at other games on Wii to see how good heavy physics based games can work with good programing.

Peoples comparisons with Dead Rising: CTD have no validity. This game is not dependent on such high NPC numbers or textures. The game runs a low speed engine that could actually be pushed on Wii, but it would require multiple data loads during play.

Your are going to lose a lot of the appeal of the original when it will have reduced graphics, some of the cool ligting effects and shadows will be lost, but the hope is you could gain a lot more if the controls are implemented well, and AI is tweaked for them. If they are going for straight off port with no such tweaking it could be bad.

I haven't really seen much on Dead Space before, but it sounds like a really good game from what I've heard.

Instead of trying to produce visuals that try to compete with the 360 and PS3 versions, in my opinion, I think they should make it look more stylized, like Dead Space Downfall.

Honestly, I might get this.

 I have a X360 but I was never really interested in Dead Space - No, I know, it's supposed to be really good, and I played the demo, and usually I like survival horror, but somehow it never really got to me. But a Wii version, done right, with proper controls? Somehow, the thought makes the game more attractive.

It probably won't be scary, but then again, neither was Dead Space, after a while.
And considering how well Resi 4 supposedly worked on Wii, this might actually be a good idea and not a CTYD, which is going to suck regardless.

Great news for all Wii-only owners(as long as it's a good port and not Dead Space: Chop Till You Drop), but I think I'm gonna give it a pass. The 360 version pretty much nailed the controls, unlike RE5. Now THAT is a game I'd buy on Wii, even if I already owned the 360 version.

I think this is very good news for the Wii. And the controls will probably feel very good.

I dont understand why the graphics half to be so...not bad..but under-par with the other two consoles.
